There are rechargeable batteries in San Diego that help store energy to be tapped into when the system hits its limit, as it did during a recent heat wave around Labor Day.
In 2020, there was only enough battery storage in California for roughly 250 megawatts. That’s enough power for around 162,000 homes.
That’s enough power for nearly two million homes. However, Romero said this is still just the beginning. He said currently California has enough storage for about 3,500 megawatts. Romero said the goal is to have storage for more than 40,000 megawatts statewide by 2045. That’s enough power for 26 million homes.
